Most people can see the faint bluish line of their radial artery; place your fingertips here. Count the beats for 1 minute. Or, if you have a short attention span, count for 30 seconds and multiply by 2. During your workout, take your pulse about every 15 minutes and be sure to concentrate. You may want to slow down or even stop while you take your pulse.
How It Is Done. You can measure your pulse rate anywhere an artery comes close to the skin, such as in your wrist or neck, temple area, groin, behind the knee, or top of your foot. You can easily check your pulse on the inside of your wrist, below your thumb. 1  Gently place 2 fingers of your other hand on this artery.2  Do not use your thumb because it has its own pulse that you may feel. 3  Count the beats for 30 seconds; then double the result to get the number of beats per minute.our pulse is the rate at which your heart beats. Your pulse is usually called your heart rate, which is the number of times your heart beats each minute (bpm).
